Question

Which of the following correctly describes the difference between transcription and translation?

-Transcription makes RNA from DNA, translation turns RNA into proteins
-translation copies new DNA, while transcription makes RNA
-translation makes mRNA while transcription makes tRNA
-Translation makes RNA from DNA, transcription turns RNA into proteins

Answer 1

A) Transcription makes RNA from DNA, translation turns RNA into proteins.

Answer 2

Transcription makes RNA from DNA, translation turns RNA into proteins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Transcription is the first stage in gene expression in which an RNA molecule is made by copying a gene's DNA sequence. Transcription is carried out by the enzyme RNA polymerase which joins nucleotides together to make an RNA strand, while translation is also a process in gene expression in which messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded within a ribosome to build a chain of amino acids which later folds to form an active protein. Translation occurs after the process of transcription.
